Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

1,255,378 Feb. 05, 1918 Antifriction-bearing Chester H. Beach Racine, WI Typical ball-bearing cartridges are intended to have a snug fit on the inner race and a looser fit on the outer, so that some longitudinal movement, such as with expansion due to heat, is allowed. "In certain high speed machinery such as high speed portable grinders and other high speed electrical tools this creeping of the outer race-way within the housing has been found to be objectionable. It is therefore the object of the present invention to overcome this objectionable feature and to provide means whereby the outer race-way of the unitary structure (the cartridge) is prevented from creeping in a rotary direction within the housing, but is permitted to have a slight thrust movement therein, longitudinally with the shaft..."

2,868,090 Jan. 13, 1959 Attachment for Internal Keyway Cutting and Slotting David S. McCullough Racine, WI Arthur Middleton - patent attorney
This invention relates to means for using a reciprocating tool for such operations as internal keyway cutting, shaping, slotting, and nibbling. It is an object of this invention to provide an improvement over previously developed devices that offers greater flexibility of use for a wider range of work, avoids the necessity for heavy rigid frames by obtaining its rigidity through new design features, allows greater cuts in relation to its size and horsepower by providing an increased degree of rigidity between the tool and the work. A second object of this invention is to provide a compact portable device which will add a wide variety of internal keyway cutting and shaping to work done on a lathe, while the work piece is still retained in the same position in the lathe chuck in which its previous operations such as boring or turning were done. A third object is to provide a practically universal portable, shaper which can be readily carried to perform machining operations in place, including forming slots, developing flat surfaces in vertical and horizontal planes in a single set up, able to use either draw-shaping or push-shaping cutting strokes as may be desired and adaptable in its set-up to increase accessibility. Another object of this invention is to devise a tool capable of being mounted on such machine tools as milling machines and boring mills to convert their rotary spindle action to reciprocating tool use for precise shaping and slotting operations and with greater capacity than previously known devices. Yet another object is to devise a tool unit for a lathe or similar work-turning machine tool that performs a combination of turning or boring and reciprocating tool action with only one handling and one set-up of the work piece, at the same time increasing the assurance of accurate relationship between circular surfaces and slotted surfaces.
